Dimorphotheca Aurantiaca Hybrids 
DIMORPHOTHECA (South African Daisy). 
1103. Aurantiaca. A rare and exceedingly 
rich flowering annual of easy culture. The 
plants, which are of neat branching habit, 
grow from 12 to 15 inches high and produce 
Marguerite-like blossoms 3 inches in diam¬ 
eter. The color, a beautiful deep golden- 
orange, is rendered more conspicuous by the 
dark disc in the center. 
1104. Aurantiaca Hybrids. These new, se¬ 
lected hybrids are like the parent, Dimor- 
photheca Aurantiaca, in habit and growth. 
The colors range from white to bluish and 
pinkish white, sulphur to golden yellow, 
salmon to rose and other delicate tints. 
These hybrids are a valuable addition to the 
class of plants which may be easily grown 
from seed . 
1108. Sinuata. This is a new and distinct 
variety. The flowers are clear satiny buff 
with a bluish disc; when fully expanded the 
under sides of the petals are purplish red. 
The light green foliage is obtuse and sinuate. 
A novelty of great merit.
